[Hellsgate] Bryn Gwlad Fall Baronial

[Phelim and Myfanwy]

Greetings unto our populace!

We hope that everybody had as great of a time as we did.  Even with the rain on Sunday, the event was superb, the scenarios were great, the feast was delicious and the site was beautiful.  We're still exhausted from all of the fun that we had. 

We would like to say thank you to everybody who worked hard.  There were so many people helping out that we hope that everybody got a chance to relax also and for that we thank the general populace.  There are a few personal thank you's we would like to highlight:
Christian - You did a fantastic job with taking your vision from concept to reality.  It was a great amount of fun to have all the events intermingle with each other.  
Marie - The feast was delicious!  We had many people come to us and mention how tasty and well prepared it was.  Myfanwy even ate all of her gourd soup!
Jeanne Marie - We were not able to see your presentation for the noble's lunch but the food was delicious and was the perfect mid-day repast
Gwenneth - You stepped in at the last minute to run gate when the original gate coordinator was taken over by real life.  There were a lot of extra little bits to take care of with the new site and you handled them with calm.
Liam and Robert - You guys got the stuff there and led the crew to get things set-up.  All the needs of the different areas were met without fuss.
Takuan and Lucius - Even with the rain you guys diplomatically handled getting things loaded up and figured out how to distribute the pavilions so they could dry out properly before storage
Ceallach - Your constant reminders of getting content for the webpage was valuable and appreciated
Francisca - The champion scrolls were beautiful!  We know we put a lot of pressure on the scribe to write in names is such a short time and you handled the pressure well even in the damp conditions.
Sabina and Renée - The prize baskets were perfect and we appreciated having a couple of extra items to be able to gift elsewhere
Safiyya - Without you and the scribal guild nobody would have been able to receive local awards.
Simona and Elen - Thank you both for providing A&S venues for people to continue to improve their skills
Robin and Leia - Thank you for giving the children activities to participate in to be part of the dream
To all the marshals and principles for the scenarios, thank you for your service and setting the atmosphere of the Third Crusade.
